Re: [HTCondor-users] Jobs in idle state on a submitter blocks other jobs

[MÃtyÃs Selmeci <matyas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Xavier,

Without additional information, it's hard to say what was
happening.  One execute node being down shouldn't cause jobs
to idle in the queue -- they would just match to one of the
other execute nodes (if they fit the job's requirements).

Can you post the job log from one of the stuck jobs somewhere?
Perhaps that will give us more information.

Thanks,
-Mat
